About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including cats, dogs, reptiles, and birds! I grew up with two dogs and chickens and I currently have two cats and a bearded dragon of my own. I have previously pet sat for neighbors and family friends, caring for both cats and dogs. I am comfortable with daily pet care, including feeding, grooming, walking, cleaning, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience administering medications, including injections, and understand the importance of following care instructions carefully. Whether your pet has fur, feathers, or scales, I strive to provide attention, reliable, and loving care tailored to their individual needs. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I want both you and your pets to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away! I work full-time from home as a customer service agent, generally between 10 AM and 6 PM, Monday through Friday. Because my job is remote, I have flexibility throughout the day to accommodate pet care needs, check in on your pets, and provide attention and companionship while you’re away. I’m available for pet care on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs and routine! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved animals. I have two cats and a bearded dragon of my own, so I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for the past couple years. I have taken care of both family and friends dogs as well as neighbors from word of mouth. I am currently working remotely part time from home so I am generally pretty free to dog sit or pop in to feed any pets during the day. I can't take care of any pets in my home, but can go to your home and either dog sit from there or walk your dog.

About: When you entrust your pet to me, you're choosing someone whose career has been built on compassion, responsibility, and exceptional care. As a registered nurse with over 12 years of experience, I understand that every living being deserves individualized attention, patience, and a safe, nurturing environment. Caring for others is second nature to me. Throughout my nursing career, I've specialized in caring for seniors and individuals with unique medical and emotional needs. Those same skills translate seamlessly to pet care. Whether your pet is a playful puppy or kitten, a senior needing extra patience, requires medication, has special needs, or simply thrives with extra love and attention, I have the experience and confidence to provide attentive, reliable care. Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always been more than a job—it's a passion. In addition to nursing, I own and operate my own concierge nursing and pet care business, where trust, professionalism, and personalized service are the foundation of everything I do. I know leaving your pet behind can be stressful. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind by treating your dog or cat like a member of my own family. You'll receive dependable communication, regular updates, and the reassurance that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you're away. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all pet care. Every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved from the moment they arrive. My commitment is to provide the same level of compassion, attention, and professionalism that I would want for my own pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work as a nurse three days a week, which allows me plenty of flexibility and dedicated time on my days off to focus on pet care. On my off days, I structure my schedule around the pets I’m caring for by making sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, playtime, and any needed special care or medication. Because I’m used to working in a caregiving profession, I’m very organized and attentive to routines, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide dependable, unhurried care so each pet gets the attention they deserve, whether that’s extra walks, cuddle time, or sticking closely to their normal routine. I provide flexible, reliable, and attentive care both in my home and in my clients’ homes, depending on what works best for you and your pet. I offer drop-in visits, daily care, and overnight stays, as well as boarding in my own home where pets are welcomed into a safe, calm, and loving environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely including feeding schedules, walks, medication, playtime, and any special routines are handled with consistency and care. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. When pets stay in my home, they are treated like part of the family. I provide a clean, safe, and supervised environment where they receive plenty of attention, affection, and individualized care throughout the day. In all settings, I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, respect, and genuine love. I also believe in clear communication, so I provide regular updates and check-ins to give you peace of mind while you're away. My goal is always to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for at all times.

“Excellent! Thank you Lenny! As you know I was a bit reluctant to leave him with a stranger but you took great care of him! And I really appreciate that! He definitely slept well when he came home! Highly recommend Lenny and her family!!”

About: Diagnosed with allergies in childhood, I didn’t have pets until in my 20s, when I picked a week-old kitten from a litter & raised him. Thelonious used to walk between my shoulders as I moved around the house, and slept in my bed. Friends told me he behaved more like a dog than a cat—very affectionate. We were very close. His death broke my heart & I still miss him. Seven years ago, I did cat-sitting for a friend whose apartment in NYC I stayed in for a summer while working nearby on Varick Street. He was a very easygoing cat. Years later, my stepson left his dogs at our house & I was their primary minder. I fed, walked & played with them every day. Although I’d been around dogs a lot growing up, it’s one thing to be around them & another to be responsible for them & develop relationships with them. Each of the dogs had a very distinct personality, and I found them fascinating. Through those & other experiences with friends’ pets, I’ve found that I’m able to make connections with animals that go beyond words. I never would have imagined such a thing in childhood. These days I do house sitting & drop-ins for clients in Monmouth, Mercer & Middlesex Counties. I’m tending to pets with a wide range of needs & dispositions, and love I give is more than equaled by the love I receive from them. I’m truly humbled & in awe. Professionally, I managed desktop publishing & automated publishing for a Fortune 500 financial firm for 20 years. So I have a long track record of responsibility & discipline. That combination of sensitivity & responsibility are what I bring to pet sitting. I only accept clients living within a 30-minute drive from my home, and my routines at home are easily adaptable to meet my clients’ needs. That means my highly flexible schedule allows me to provide your cat with the consistent time, routine, and attention they deserve while you are gone. I don’t rush my check-ins; I stay the full duration to ensure your pet gets plenty of physical play and mental stimulation. Because my hours are highly adaptable, I can drop in at the exact times your pet expects breakfast, dinner, or treats. I’m happy to take photos during my stay to enable you as the pet owner to feel secure about your pet’s care in your absence. I like to play with & talk to pets, and try to adhere to their normal routines, so they, too, feel comfortable in your absence.

“Hannah was absolutely incredible with our two goldens. Super communicative and she also sent so many pictures. We were a bit nervous leaving our dogs for July 4th fireworks but she took awesome care of them. Will absolutely re-book with her moving forward.”

About: I’ve been raising and caring for dogs since I was 8! Having been the primary person for pups of all different kinds I understand the anxiety of leaving your pet alone for too long! I have experience with both young puppies and old timers, and I happen to be an expert pill-in-cheese wrapper for any dog in need of medical upkeep. I have been house and dog sitting for about 3 years now, just by word of mouth and recently decided to transition to Rover to expand my clientele. Let’s connect! I am currently working part-time teaching English as a Second Language! When I am not in the classroom, I’ll have plenty of time to bond and relax with your puppy! Consistent upkeep is the name of the game! Whether I’m watching your home or your dog, I make sure to maintain a consistent schedule of habits to keep your home and family member clean and comfortable.

“Gary did a wonderful job caring for our Shiba while we were away! He was able to follow our detailed instructions and requests, gave our dog lots of exercise and attention, and kept in very active communication with us sending pictures and videos and updates. We will definitely call on Gary again!”

“Ana was an awesome sitter! She cared for our kitten, Marvel, for several days while we were out of town. Ana was kind, communicative, flexible, and SUPER SWEET with Marvel. She happily worked with us when we unexpectedly needed to extend our trip an extra day. She was a wonderful first experience utilizing Rover. We will definitely be reaching out to her again for future care. Ana, thank you so much for the peace of mind and sweet love you offered our baby!”

“Yana is beyond wonderful! Our Charlie is so comfortable with her and she truly takes great care of him. We are spoiled having her to take care of our very spoiled “with love” Charlie ❤️”

I've always gotten along perfectly fine with pets and I'm sure i'd be a great fit to take care of your fur baby. I'm very patient when it comes to taking care of pets so I could definitely manage with any sort of behavior that may arise! I am a college student and have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I love being around them, whether thats going on a walk or just playing inside! It’s all okay with me! I keep a close eye on every pet, follow your routines and feeding instructions, and make sure pets are securely leashed or indoors. I'll send regular photo updates and contact you right away if anything seems off!

About: Our house is home to a wonderful and slightly spoiled Golden Doodle named Phoebe. My husband and I have raised dogs in our homes all of our lives and enjoy welcoming new furry friends over while their owners enjoy life’s greatest adventures. These guests are well cared for and quickly become part of the family! Our schedules are arranged in a way to ensure someone is home to care for and accompany your pets. I’m employed as a Dental Hygienist working only 2 days a week. During the day's I am at work, my husband is home. We have a dog and adorable kids eager to play with and spoil your loved ones. While your pets are in our home, our focus is to provide for them in the same way they would receive in their own homes. We live in a safe neighborhood off of main roads and accessible sidewalks for walks. We have a nice backyard with plenty of space to run and play. Our dog and kids are great at helping to get any extra energy out and happily entertain your pup!

About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and have been caring for pets of all kinds for years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets — and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, patient with anxious or senior animals, and always communicate regularly with owners so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing.

About: I have 5 years of experience caring for pets and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away I have a flexible schedule and currently work part-time, so I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for walks, visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. There is a park right near my apartment, which makes it easy to take your pet for regular walks and outdoor time. I can also stay at your home and care for your pets there upon request

About: Hi! My name is Sammi and I've owned dogs since I was 3 years old! I've studied the fundamentals of dog training (ABA) in college and seen it in action with my own pets (as well as children). I've volunteered at local animal shelters and adore all pets! I have flexible working hours during the week and can help out through out the week to ensure your pets are safe and their needs are met! I have a fenced yard for your fur babies to run and play in. I'm courteous and always do my best to leave things better than they were.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, but I really started learning through hands-on experience when I got my own pug 6 years ago. He’s super mellow and has taught me so much about caring for dogs day-to-day. I love making sure pups feel comfortable and entertained—especially if they’re treat-motivated! I have enrichment toys, a basket full of fun toys, and a cozy patio they can relax on. There’s also a dog park in my community for extra playtime. I’m not a pro trainer, but I’m happy to work on basic training with treats and patience. I just genuinely love dogs and want them to feel happy and at home. Pet care is naturally part of my daily life. I take my dog on walks around my townhouse complex, stop by the dog park, and make sure he gets plenty of play and cuddle time. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but my partner is home during the day if needed, and I always make time in the evenings for walks, feeding, and attention. On weekends, I’m fully available. I also love taking dogs to pet-friendly spots throughout the week—because they deserve a fun outing and a little treat now and then, like a pup cup if allowed! Pets in my home are free to roam since they’re trained to potty outside, but I’m always happy to adjust based on your pet’s needs. I have potty pad holders available if needed and will gladly follow any special instructions you provide to help your dog feel safe, happy, and comfortable!

“Sam was wonderful! She was very responsive keeping us informed with pictures of Chase and details of how he was doing. She took excellent care of him and our house.”

About: ACCEPTING SAME DAY/ SHORT NOTICE BOOKINGS Hello!! I’ve had dogs and cats and pets of all kinds since I was a kid! So it’s over 20 years now 🥲 I have 5 years of experience as a volunteer for my local shelter, fostering kittens and dogs. I’ve cared for sick and skittish animals. I’ve personally had mostly small and medium shelter recuses, but I’ve cared for all types, big or small! I’ve had 3 cats for the last 10 years and I’m a certified cat lover 😻😻 I’ve also looked after guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and even frogs, so basically if it has fur, fins, or a tank, I’ve probably fed it at some point. I’m excited to look after your fur babies as well! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I keep a flexible, full-time schedule so I can be available whenever care is needed! I’m available for overnights, regular check-ins, and walks whenever your pet needs them, including weekdays and weekends. Whatever routine your pet is used to, I can work around it!! Since I care for pets in their own home, I can keep their routine exactly as it is if you were there. The same food times, same walk schedule, same rules. I’m careful about doors and gates, keep the home secure while you’re away, and treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own :))
